Q

Electrolysis is the (a) up of an ionic compound using (b). It takes place when the ionic compounds are in (c) state or in aqueous solution because the ions are (d) to move around.

A

(a) splitting
(b) electricity
(c) liquid
(d) free

22
Q

What is the liquid decomposed by electrolysis called?

A

Electrolyte.

23
Q

When ions lose or (a) electrons at the electrodes they are (b).

A

(a) gain
(b) discharged

24
Q

Where do the negative ions move toward?

A

The positive electrode (anode) they lose electrons to form non- metallic elements.

25
Q

Where do the positive ions move toward?

A

The negative electrode (cathode) they gain electrons to form metallic elements.

26
Q

What are the reactions generally at the cathode? (half equation)

A

Mn+ + ne- = M

27
Q

What are the reactions at the anode? (half equation)

A

2Xm- –> X2 + 2me-

28
Q

What is used to extract aluminium?

A

The electrolyte used is aluminium oxide.

29
Q

Aluminium has a (a) MP so to save energy and lower the operating temperature, the aluminium oxide is (b) in a compound called (c). (d) is used at both electrodes. Aluminium ions are (e) at the (f) to give molten aluminium metal which is run off. At the anode, (g) ions are discharged to form (h) gas. This oxygen gas then reacts with the carbon anode to form (i). The carbon anode burns away and loses mass.

A

(a) high
(b) dissolved
(c) cryolite
(d) carbon
(e) discharged
(f) cathode
(g) oxide
(h) oxygen
(i) carbon dioxide

30
Q

What is produced when metal+oxygen react

A

metal oxides

31
Q

What is the displacement order

A

a metal can only displace another metal from a compound if it is located above it in the reactivity series

32
Q

What are spectator ions

A

unchanged in a reaction

33
Q

How does potassium react with cold water

A

hydrogen produced ignites instantly, then the metal also ignites setting off a lilac flame

34
Q

How does sodium react with cold water

A

fizzes rapidly, melts to form a ball which floats around surface

35
Q

How does lithium react with cold water

A

fizzes and floats

36
Q

What is a redox reaction

A

reaction with both reduction and oxidation

37
Q

acid +metal oxides-> ?

A

salt+ water

38
Q

acid + hydroxide -> ?

A

salt + water

39
Q

how can u measure pH

A

universal indicator, pH probe

40
Q

process by which carbon is used to extract metals from their oxides when the metal is less reactive than carbon

A
  1. metals can be extracted by reacting with carbon
  2. in reduction the metal oxide loses oxygen to form a pure metal
  3. reduction with carbon normally involves heating metal oxide in the presence of the carbon (often coal)
  4. carbon is used because it is cheap and abundant
